Brian Dawkins not only comes across the middle for opposing ball carriers, but is coming for Colorado schoolboy football players.

Neil Devlin, originally from the Philadelphia area, has covered high school sports in Colorado for more than 30 years, writing about the people, athletes and events that encompass the Rocky Mountain prep sports world.
